I mean the game is exactly the same... Yeah the cosmetics and so on yeah... But the gameplay and all is the same, I guess you could complain about extra game modes or new stuff I guess but if you like the core gameplay is still there.

I agree that being bought by Epic was bad... for multiple reasons specially for people that wanted cosmetics for okay prices. Surprised they kept it working on Steam as I expected "here you have a code and go play on our store" although that might be more Steam terms or something than them doing it nicely.

Similar case with fall guys being bought but at least in that case it made sense since the games was going to die...and at least they could get something and make it live for longer with that deal.

Tbf the game skill ceiling went beyond what I was willing to invest in the game vs what the player base does and the reward too little to keep me enganged. Played around 930h around lower diamond level since season 2 or 3 (basically the last season with the Prospect/Silver/Gold league system)

It made me sad Rocket League went this direction. They have enormous potential in eSports with their easy to understand gameplay and you can easily see someone is good on Rocket League even if you're not playing it.

I even made some good lasting unexpected friendship in the early days of 2015-2016 just playing with the mic on.
